Over the weekend I read My Year of Rest and Relaxation by Ottessa Moshfegh. Not very deep, but quite a fun, quirky read. It definitely tries to be deeper than it really is, but if you ignore the pretension of its themes, it can be enjoyable.  

 

I read Eileen  by that same writer. It was definitely a fun read.

 

Not as good as what Gillian Flynn is doing, though in the same frame of mind somehow.

Last month I decided to start reading more classics. So far, I’ve finished Jane eyre, wuthering heights and the scarlet letter. Oddly enough, I don’t remember reading almost any known classics in school. I feel somewhat uncultured in that sense. I’m sure there’s been a plethora of times where I’ve witnessed a reference of some kind and didn’t catch on. I really want to change that and expand my reading history

Classics are probably my favourite genre (I'm totally boring like that!) 
If you feel up to it, Russian classics are absolutely supreme. There's some shorter ones before diving into the long ones, too, like The Death of Ivan Ilyich which is a fantastic philosophical type of classic. I also love Thomas Hardy and don't hear him mentioned nearly enough!

I just finished reading The Master and Margarita, it was so weird, so funny (it's a satire), and overall just excellent. I rated it 5/5
